Vanilla muffin, the dessert. There are 3 flavours, Vanilla, Chocolate and banana.

Spaghetti Bolognese.

Quarter chicken with mash potato, potato salad and rice as side dishes

Half eaten macaroni cheese and chicken, can't wait for a photo to be taken. My girls love the macaroni cheese very much, we have to ordered a separate serving after they finished the three portions of macaroni cheese we ordered earlier.

I had this serving of plain nasi lemak for lunch last week. It cost me RM3.50. It is pretty expensive considering there is no fish or chicken to come with it. I usually buy a similar serving of nasi lemak for only RM2.50 the most from a stall a minute walk away, since my colleague recommended this shop so I gave it a try.

But one thing special about this nasi lemak is the double egg yolk, it is hard to come by. I shared the other half of this egg with my colleague as we ordered the same take away for lunch.

We tried out a frozen chicken pie, a product from Bakers Street that day. There are 4 pieces of premium chicken pie in a packet. The pie was put straight into oven from the freezer for 15 minutes and they are done. Surprisingly Crystal likes it, and I find the quality is better than I expected. Crystal like it probably because it is cheesy and creamy in texture; but I can not find the peas and carrots as shown in the packet. though. A pie good for afternoon tea and breakfast. Recommended.

This home cooked cucumber with salted soya bean sauce is super easy to prepare. I usually eat raw cucumber. Yesterday, I prepared this dish for my age-old parents who no longer have strong teeth to chew the crunchy raw cucumber.

Ingredients:

1-2 cucumber (chopped)

1 tablespoon salted soya bean

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

1 teaspoon black soy sauce

1 teaspoon corn starch

4 tablespoons water

Method:

Heat the oil in a wok and fry the chopped garlic till fragrant;

Put in the salted soya bean, fry for 30 seconds;

Pour in the water and cooked till the mixture is boiled;

Put in the cucumber, cook for 1 minute, add in the black soy sauce;

Cover the wok and cook for another 2 minutes till the cucumber is soften (cook for another 1 minute only if you prefer the cucumber to remain crunchy);
